Rick Tocchet urges the NHL to suspend Zach Hyman following video leak

Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet calls out the NHL Player Safety Department to suspend Edmonton Oilers forward Zach Hyman after video leak.

Chaos erupted at the end of the recent playoff game between the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks, prompting Canucks coach Rick Tocchet to demand a suspension for Zach Hyman.

In the heat of playoff intensity, tensions ran high, leading to a brawl sparked by cross-checks from Canucks defensemen Nikita Zadorov and Carson Soucy. Tocchet condemned the incident, emphasizing that while he appreciates physical hockey, such behavior crosses the line.

A new angle of the video reveals Hyman delivering a similar hit to Zadorov shortly after the initial altercation. Despite Tocchet's outcry, the NHL has yet to take action against Hyman, who remains unpunished.

Tocchet's plea for fairness in discipline may go unheard, as the NHL has already fined Zadorov and suspended Soucy. This suggests they've reviewed the incident and cleared Hyman of any wrongdoing.

Given the NHL's inaction, attention turns to whether the Canucks will seek retribution against Hyman themselves.
